Are you getting married in Central Otago? We would love to have you come and stay with us....take it easy, stay a few days and enjoy the tranquil space that is Cherry Cottage, the perfect place to recover from your big day!

Putting the camera away here in Oregon has been good for the sanity, but it means digging through the New Zealand archives.

The ever-moody Milford Sound... Every time I come here I feel like I’ve transported to another world 🌎💫

Monkeying around at Monkey Creek on our way to JUCY cruise Milford Sound! Monkey Creek is a glacier-fed spring with water so pure you can drink it straight from the source, and WE DID! It was some of the tastiest water I've tried 🚰⠀

Mirror, mirror on the lake... Yet another stop on your way to JUCY cruise Milford Sound was the stunning Mirror lakes! Pro tip they are not actually lakes they are ponds.

Walking our way back from The Chasm, Te Anua, I just can't get over how stunning this place is 😍⠀

This place is called The Chasm! It's another fun stop on our way to JUCY Cruise Milford Sound. Thousands of years of swirling water have sculpted shapes and basins into the rock giving you this amazing natural marvel!

New Zealand is just covered in this lush, dense rainforest, we got to do a few little treks on our way to JUCY Cruise Milford Sound, Fjord-land!

Got the wind in my hair and the rain on my face! It pretty much rained non-stop while I was in Queenstown but that didn't stop me from loving every minute!

I'd like to take credit for this rock pile, but sadly I could only get mine about 5 rocks high before it fell over 😂

I tell you what, you sure get a lot of time to reflect on your life choices during the 8 seconds that you free fall on the Nevis Swing😂

Earnslaw Burn was definitely a BIG highlight of the NZ trip, having never been in a helicopter before that was an awesome experience in itself! But arriving in Earnslaw Burn and having this magnificent place all to ourselves was truly life changing. I saw this place on the TV show Travel Guides Australia and I'm sooo glad that I made the effort to come here.

Add this place to your bucket list friends! I will go back any chance I get, there's just something about having solitude in a place like this. It heightens the senses, you can see every tiny glacial waterfall and listen to the avalanches and it just reminds you how small you are in this big world!
